Introducing Revit Architecture 2008: BIM for Beginners
Revit expert and Authorized Autodesk Author Eddy Krygiel developed this practical reference and tutorial to help readers learn Revit and BIM basics easily and efficiently. His straightforward explanations, real-world examples, and practical tutorials focus squarely on accomplishing vital Revit tasks.
The
book begins with an overview of BIM concepts before introducing the Revit interface. Readers then start working with basic objects and learn how to insert and control walls, floors, roofs and ceilings. The book then instructs readers about how to use components and families before providing a thorough understanding of Revit's editing tools. Advanced modeling components - such as stairs, railings, ramps, and curtain walls - are introduced next. Eddy then explains how Revit works with other applications, shows how to document the model for construction, and explores integrating annotations and linework into the model. After exploring printing to paper and files, the Family Editor and its usage is thoroughly explained. Worksets and team collaboration discussions are followed by a look at some of Revit's advanced options. The book concludes with a unique and valuable chapter on troubleshooting and file maintenance chapter.
Introducing Revit's CD features all the tutorial files necessary to complete the book's exercises, sample families, and a trial version of the Revit software.
